Ruth 3:9-13

Rotherham(i) 9 And he said, Who art, thou? And she said, I, am Ruth, thy handmaid, spread, therefore, thy wing over thy handmaid, for, a kinsman, thou art. 10 And he said––Blessed, be thou of Yahweh, my daughter, for thou hast made thy last lovingkindness better than the first,––in not following after young men, whether poor, or rich. 11 Now, therefore, my daughter, do not fear, whatsoever thou shalt say, I will do for thee,––for all the gate of my people doth know, that, a virtuous woman, thou art. 12 And, now, although it is true that, a kinsman, am I, yet is there a kinsman nearer than I. 13 Tarry the night, and it shall be, in the morning, if he will act as kinsman to thee, well, let him so act, but, if he inclineth not to act as kinsman to thee, then will, I, so act to thee––by the life of Yahweh,––Lie still, until the morning.
